Abstract

Quadrupole electron lenses 21, 22, 23 and 24 are disposed between an energy-dispersing device 15 and a parallel detector 50 in an electron energy-loss spectrometer. The power and polarity of the quadrupole lenses may be adjusted to simultaneously provide the desired energy dispersion of the spectrum, and a precise match between the width of the spectrum and the width of the parallel detector. Additional quadrupole lenses may be interposed between quadrupole lens 24 and the detector 50 to further increase the energy dispersion.
